The American comedy series
WILL & GRACE lasted for eleven seasons and debuted on 21 September 1998 on NBC.
The last of 246 episodes was broadcasted on 23 April 2020. The show was seen in more than 60 countries and remains popular in reruns. Although largely filmed in front of a studio audience in Los Angeles, the show is set in New York. Several buildings in Manhattan are often shown to indicate where Will, Grace, Karen and Jack live and work. None of the four main characters however are ever seen entering or leaving one of these buildings.
The first shot of the pilot episode is 155 Riverside Drive in Upper West Side Manhattan, the apartment where Will lives on 9C, sometimes with Jack but in most episodes with Grace. The address is printed on the shed above the entrance.

Above the entrance and on the corner of Houston Street and Mulberry Street are statues of the character the red building was named after, Puck from Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer’s Night Dream’, sculpted by Henry Baerer.
